https://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=414753 Summary: ATA error with Sony DVD writer Product: openSUSE 11.0 Version: Final Platform: i386 OS/Version: openSUSE 11.0 Status: NEW Keywords: Forums Severity: Critical Priority: P5 - None Component: Booting AssignedTo: jsrain@novell.com ReportedBy: tonytons@gmail.com QAContact: jsrain@novell.com Found By: --- Created an attachment (id=231823) --> (https://bugzilla.novell.com/attachment.cgi?id=231823) boot messages (boot.msg) hi i am facing this problem on my OpenSuse11, Ubuntu 8 installation on my system (however the same system with windows xp works fine) I am attaching a boot.msg and pasting the part of error here! The hardware is: One HDD IDE 80gb One SATA 300GB One SATA 250GB Sony IDE DVD Writer Sometimes it works fine.. but on an average out of 10 boots,7 times it generates an exception.. and 3 times works fine... When it work without an error, there is most likely a chance that system will suddenly freeze, at that happens most of the times! My workaround for this error is that i turn off the dvd writer from BIOS, and then system loads fine, but i cannot access CD/DVD anymore!
